How could I use this in the classroom?

1. Before instruction:

Ask students to find all the cognates/familiar word they can. See what they can deduce based on previous knowledge.

2. After instruction:

After teaching Paris culture, give them a text to analyze and evaluate.

3. Review:

Has it been awhile since you’ve implemented a reading practice? This could be a good review for students!

4. Homework:

Take this home for extra practice

5. Jump start into speaking & writing:

Use this as a way for students to begin sharing their findings/reactions of the Paris métro system, travel experiences, etc. Even if you want to incorporate with advanced learners, this is an opportunity for IB and AP students to dig deeper into personal experiences via speaking and writing.
